Now, if I repeat what you told us, someone might say:
"My friend told he read somewhere that someone read somewhere that a lot of these attacks are orchestrated by Russians because the Russian authorities will turn a blind eye as long as such attacks don't hit domestic targets."
How rumors becomes "real"... :)

- NicoJuicy 5y agoDepends on the method. You're safe from Russian hackers/malware if you're OS has the Russian keyboard added.

- hnlmorg 5y agoThis isn't a rumour and I don't share information unless I'm either personally trained on the topic or have learn that information from a reputable news source.

That WaPo Krebs article links malware analysis which goes into dire detail on how that ransomware probes for Volume Shadow Copy (via amateur WMI) yet... omits keyboard layout probe method(s) at all (there are at least 3 possible ways)
